Listening to Artaud's debut album is a bit like listening to Steve Reich or Philip Glass for the first time, not an easy thing to do. It's complex and incredibly compact. But, if you push the experience a little bit further, it reveals itself in all its beauty and grandeur.
Originally a jazz bassist, Vincent Artaud grew up between two worlds, those of jazz and classical music. Using the full range of his skills and roots, he has built a fascinating mix consisting of minimalism and jazz to which he added his love of the most arty soundtracks (i.e. not those of Hollywood).
There are not enough composers like Artaud, his is a rare breed. His music will please those who like Zorn's Filmworks and Ornette Coleman's explorations. Yes, it's that good!
Don't miss the opportunity get Artaud's debut!
(his second album has already been posted on Moodswings and it delivers more of the same magic. Use the search engine to find it)
